Brecker Brothers/NY,USA 1978 Upgrade

This rare live recording, broadcast by New York radio station WLIR-FM when Terry Bozzio was still in the band, has been cleaned to a noiseless state, and then remastered by an overseas collector. The sound image has been expanded from low to high tones, and the balance of each instrument has been restored to a quality that is hard to believe for a recording recorded more than 40 years ago. This is the definitive version of the 1978 live performance. “New York 1978,” released about 20 years ago, was a rare recording and was well received by collectors at the time, but when listening to it now, the deterioration of the master tape is difficult to do anything about. The live performance on October 6, 1978, released this time, features a recording from the time of Terry Bozzio, who is very popular in Japan, and you will be surprised by the drums, which are very different from those of Chris Parker and Steve Jordan. Terry Bozzio’s dynamic playing has been well-known among enthusiasts for a long time, from his Zappa, U.K., and Missing Persons days. “Heavy Metal Be-Bop” was recorded in September 1978, and the live performance released this time was held the following month at the same live house, My Father’s Palace.
